A friend told me my AI landscapes looked like 'soulless wallpaper' and it stung, but they were right.
They said every piece I posted here had perfect lighting and no story, just empty pretty scenes. I was only typing prompts like 'mountain lake at sunset, 8k, trending on ArtStation'. For the past three months, I've been adding specific, weird details to my prompts, like 'a forgotten boot by the shore' or 'a fence with one broken slat'. It forces the AI to make choices that feel less generic. The images are messier now, but people ask about them instead of just scrolling past. Has anyone else found that adding a single flawed element makes the work feel more real?

My last piece had a single crow on a power line instead of a flock. That tiny choice made the whole scene feel lonely and specific, not just another pretty sky. It's like the AI needs a constraint to stumble into something interesting.

Yeah, that's a solid fix. The little broken things give the eye a place to land, don't they?
